Nov 26, 2004 Updated: Feb 1, 2005Nice color, reasonable head with some lacing. Some hops in the aroma. Not sure how 4.5% classifies as strong. Definitley a bitter though, and quite quaffable.

Nov 24, 2004 Pours a four-fingered light tan head that fades slowly leaving a good lace. Cloudy, amber color. Nose is a malt/hop mix. Light carbonation and light bodied. Starts with a mix of sweetness and hops and has a hoppy overtone for the finish. I was expecting something with a lot of bite but this is really a mellow bitter. $4.29 for a 500ml bottle from Hoosick Street Discount Bev. Troy, NY. Bottle is labeled Suffolk Special Bitter.

Nov 23, 2004 Amber beer with little head. Rich aroma of apple, honey and malt. It has a sweet honey/malt immediate impression, but a more lasting dry hops flavour. As mentioned, very drinkable. If it had a little berry with the apple aroma, I could be seriously hooked.

Nov 14, 2004 Drunk straight out of the bottle. Gave it a 3 on appearance because it didnt look so bad when I looked in through the top of the bottle. Had ok bitter taste. 16 oz of this was about $3.50 Even 50 cents less and I would have said good for throwing back a couple pint bottles.

Nov 11, 2004 Updated: Oct 4, 2006Clean, crisp and dry, cleans the palate. Not overpowering bitter for the end of the meal. Balanced with malt. Spot of fruit.

Nov 9, 2004 Updated: Jul 16, 2005Tasted from the bottle a few months over expiration. In the Stein the beer rose out to meet me, the yeast settled onto it’s dense fluffy head like malt on a cappuccino. The body, a hazy light amber. Wonderful aroma of malt and hops, citric and floral with a hint of toffee malt and gritty grain. The taste was sweet and fruity with a pleasant bitterness in the back, and a full mouth feel that finishes off long bitter and sweet. The beer was well balanced and refreshing, and could be either savoured in winter or sessioned during the summer months. Quite tasty.

Nov 5, 2004 Updated: Sep 13, 2005Pours a hazy copper color with a thin off-white head that says "byre" real quickly. Has an agreeable hoppy aroma that’s mainly herbal, perhaps a bit doughy. Solid malt flavors with perhaps a bit of smokiness and a good bitter rush at the end of each drink. Lingering bitter finish. Tasty stuff. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Armanetti, Willowbrook, IL<font size=-1>
